"A compelling, true courtroom drama touches on the lingering pain of the Holocaust."

- Deborah Young, Hollywood Reporter

"Spall's performance as Irving is a nuanced masterpiece of patriarchal monstrosity."

- Peter Keough, Boston Globe

"Awaiting the verdict makes for a real nail-biter, even knowing the outcome. Denial does a stellar job demonstrating the truth is worth fighting for."

- Peter Howell, Toronto Star

"Another illuminating performance by Rachel Weisz and a brilliant screenplay by the distinguished British playwright David Hare make Denial one of the most powerful and riveting courtroom dramas ever made."

- Rex Reed, New York Observer

"As her adversary, the ghastly Irving, Timothy Spall is excellent, creating a man of great insecurities hidden behind blustering self-confidence."

- Kate Taylor, The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

"The fact-based Denial is a well-crafted and skillfully acted drama about standing up for the truth, regardless of how challenging that might be."

- St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Calvin Wilson

"A simple courtroom drama that never betrays its convictions, the film is a basic but bitterly urgent reminder that history is far more fluid than fact, a garden that must be tended to at all times lest it wither and grow weeds."
